OMG those look delicious!

This is my first 4th of July as an expat. It was a bit strange having meetings and a dentist appointment on the 4th, but I celebrated a little bit by baking PB&J bars for my coworkers (which they loved). Any other expat Jezzies?

Noooooo!!! This is my fear! I’m trying to decide whether to wait til after I have a kid to get it done. On one hand, I don’t want my giant boobs to get even more gigantic during pregnancy, but on the other hand, I don’t want to get a reduction and then have them grow back.

People don’t give their kids chores anymore?! I swear, my parents had kids specifically so they could stop dusting and vacuuming and mowing the yard and taking out the trash.

That’s a Keebler elf cookie.

I was sad when Oreo got rid of the reduced fat kind. They had slightly less cream than regular Oreos, and they were great. The cookies > the cream when it comes to Oreos.

Until very recently, I practiced family law, and this situation sounds like a legal nightmare waiting to happen. Our entire legal system is set up to handle couples. There is no legal framework for divorce among a group or how to divide an estate with more than one surviving spouse.

Because our entire legal system is set up for two-party families. What happens in the event of divorce? Especially when there are kids involved? Most states are still moving past “mother and father” language to include same-sex couples, but literally every law regarding marriage and divorce refers to a couple.

Are you my sibling? Except that my parents were both teachers. But the rest of this is very familiar.

Mashed potatoes are legit my favorite food.

Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your story! I don’t naturally scar that badly, so that makes me feel a little better.

I imagine it more like this.

Good to know! Thanks! Now to decide whether it’s worth $10,000...

I really wish my boobs shrank when I lost weight. All I want is smaller boobs and a flatter stomach, but of course, those are the last places I see results. Figures.

I hear ya. Even with my heavy-duty sports bra (that’s 2 sizes smaller than my actual size for maximum squishing), I still sometimes feel like I need to hold my boobs in place when running down a hill. I can’t even contemplate those spaghetti strap sports bras. My boobs laugh at them.

I’ve recently started getting religious about sunscreen on my hands, too. I’m 30, and hopefully it’s not too late.

I come at this conversation from a slightly different angle. I am DYING to get a breast reduction. In fact, I just reached out to a doctor today for a consultation about one. I wear a 34G, and I absolutely hate the way my breasts impact everything in my life, from what I wear to how I exercise. I regularly have pain…

I like to think it ended in a knife fight between George Soros and the one Koch brother.

Get rid of the credit card debt! It sounds as though you are already saving something every month, which is great. Credit card debt just keeps growing and growing, so I would pay it off as soon as possible.
